Guiding us to plan the best family vacation ever (beaches, events, restaurants ) and every communication was sprinkled with kindness. The Red Ohana was fantastic !!! The home spacious, clean, beds comfortable, comforters and pillows were luxurious, lots of space for our family of five !! And the location was absolutely prime ! There’s nowhere else I would stay on the island ! If you’re considering staying here - a thousand percent YES ! It’s a home away from home !

Excellent spot for stay in Waimea on the Big Island

Stay was clean and especially enjoyed the soft beds for being on vacation. Good amenities. Only concern was the driveway into the place as an elevated area, angling the car if your car rides low should be done with care.
